BOTTLE-SEAL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 19, 1918. Serial No. 229,560.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lnwrs ARNHErM, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Mair hattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Bottle-Seal, of which the following is a full. clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to bottle seals and, has for an object the provision of an improved construction which will positively seal the cork and which is easily connected with the neck of the bottle.

Another object in view is the provision of a seal having an end seal member and a pair of spaced arms for encircling or partially encircling diflerent sections of the neck, said arms being connected by a neck portion for overlapping a head or other irregularity on the bottle.

A still further object, more specifically, is the provision of a bottle seal having a head, two sets of arms and two necks connecting the arms and the head with one set of arms so that the parts may be properly folded over the bottle and the stopper regardless of the position of the stopper.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the neck of a bottle with a seal embodying the invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 discloses a slightly modified form of seal to that shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the seal shown in Fig. 1 before the same is applied.

Fig. 4 is a plan view, of the seal shown in Fig. 2 before the same is applied.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates the neck of a bottle which has an enlargement or head 2, and an end section 3 which receives the cork or stopper 4. The seal 5 is formed with a head 6 adapted to overlap the end of the bottle and engage the cork 4, said head havin a neck 7 whereby the same is joined to w at may be termed the body 8, which body is formed with laterally extendin arms 9 and 10 adapted to encircle or partlally encircle the end section 3. Body 8 is connected by a neck 11 with the arms 12 and 13, said arms preferably being longer than arms 9 and 10, though not necessarily so. By providing the necks 7 and 11 the end or head 6 may be easily bent over the top of the bottle and the arms 12 and 13 may be caused to properly fit the neck 1 as the neck 11 accommodates the head 2 of the bottle.

In some instances it is customary to place the cork or stopper in place so that a large portion will project from the end of the bottle, as shown in Fig. 2. When this occurs the seal 14 shown in Fig. 4 is used. This seal is provided with a comparatively long neck 15 whereby the head 6 may properly fit on top of the cork.

The seals 5 and 14 respectively may be made from paper, metal, cloth, or any desired material, but are preferably made from paper as the same is cheap and may be easily decorated so as to give a finished appearance to the top part of the bottle, as well as to provide a seal therefor. The seal is preferably secured in place by an adhesive of some kind so as to firmly adhere to the various parts with which it is brought in contact whereby the neck 7 and neck 11 must be torn or broken in order to remove the cork or stopper.

What I claim is:

A bottle seal comprising an integral structure formed with a head adapted to overlap the top of the bottle, a body formed with a pair of laterally extending arms engaging the side of the upper part of the neck of said bottle, a neck connecting said body and said head spanning the upper end of the neck of said bottle, a second neck extending from the opposite edge of saidbody to the first mentioned neck, said second neck being adapted to span an irregularity in the neck of said bottle, and a pair of retaining arms connected to said second neck, said retaining arms being adapted to partly encircle the neck of said bottle.
